NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 121

 

Oh, Lord,

that you would rend the heavens and come down,
with the mountains quaking before you,
while you wrought awesome deeds 

we could not hope for,
such as they had not heard of from of old.
No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen,
any God but you doing such deeds
for those who wait for him...

 -Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-3

 

O God,
some days I really do need
for you to open up the heavens
and come cannon-balling into my life
with help and healing!

 

And some days, Lord,
you seem just out of reach
when I want so much
for you to take my hand
and lead me safely
wherever it is I need to go.
 

Help me trust,
in these Advent days,
that something great is coming,
that you are coming into my life:

gently, powerfully, mercifully,

with healing and with peace...

 
Open the heavens, Lord,

and come down!

Open up my heart

and barge right in!

Forgive my sins and heal my wounds,

dispel my fears and give me peace...

 
I wait for you, my God,

each day and night,

I wait for you.

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

    and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

    and asleep rest in your peace...

 

Amen.
